PHONOGRAPH ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,834,'dated December22, 1903. Application filed May 18, 1903. Serial No. 157,697. (Nomodel.)

To wZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. ALLEN, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State ofPennsylvania, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements inPhonograph vAttachments, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inphonograph attachments, and relates more particularly to an attachmentfor raising the horn of the phonograph on what is known as the disk typemachine.

The object of this invention is to provide a means whereby when aselection has been completed upon the machine the reproducer' and hornmay be elevated from said disk without injuring the record and held intheir elevated position until such time as it is desired to again lowerthem.

A still further object of this invention is to provide an attachmentwherein the horn may be raised to any height and at any time during thelateral movement of said horn.

In describing the invention in detail reference is bad to theaccompanying drawings,

forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals ofreference indicate like parts throughout the several views, in whichFigure 1 is a perspective View of the phonograph, showing my attachmentapplied thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my improved device,partly'in section. Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof, and Fig. 4 is asec tional detail view of a modified form of attaching my device.

The phonograph-casing 1 has secured on the horn and reproducer-arm 3 arepivotally connected. Onthis arm 2 I provide a lever 3, having a handle 4pivotally connected at 5 to the'arm 2, and a cross-piece 6 is formed onthe part 3 and adapted to engage the lower side of the arm 3 and elevatethe same to position, as shown in dotted linesin Fig. 2, when dentaldisplacement.

the device is operated. A notch 7 in the lower side of the arm 3 willwhen, the part 6 is in its elevated position engage the upper side ofpart 6, thereby preventing its acci- The pivotal connection between thearms 2 and 3 consists of the clevis 8, in which the arm?) is pivoted,said clevis having a hollow extension 9 extending" into the arm 2, theinside of said extension 9 being screw-threaded and engaged by thethumb-screw 10. (Clearly shown in Fig. 2.) When the handle 4. isactuated, the arm 3 will be elevated; but the pivoted end thereof willonlyraise the distance which it is permitted to by the adjustment of thescrew 10. A stop 3 limits the movement of the lever 3', as clearly shownin Fig.2. p

In Fig. 4 the arm 2 corresponds with the arm 2, above described, and ishollowin form, and the lever 3 extends through the slot 11, formedtherein.

It will be obvious that various changes may .be made in the details of.construction without departing from the general spirit of my thecombination of a fixed supporting-arm, a

loosely-mounted arm secured thereto, a T- shaped elevating memberpivot-ally connected to the fixed arm of the phonograph-horn support, astop secured to said arm to limit the movement of said member, the.upper part ofsaid member being adapted to contact with the lower edge ofthe movable menu-- ber of the horn or support and elevate the same, apivotal connection between said fixed and movable members whereby thevertical movement of said movable member may be adjusted, and a notchformed on the under ally attached to the said fixed arm, substanside ofsaid movable member adapted to be tially as described. to engaged by theelevating member, substan- In testimony whereof I affix my signaturetially as described. in the presence of two Witnesses.
